Green Mountain Boys

One of my grandfathers (can't remember how far back at the moment...I've got it in my geneology program) was a Green Mountain Boy, I understand! : )

Another was a Captain in the Revolution; I have downloaded copies from the Presidential Archives of two of his letters sent to General George Washington.

Patriotism and right against wrong is in my genes! : )

That is so COOL! Harumph. My great-grandfather was an English army deserter. But he turned out pretty good in the end. I'd still rather have YOUR family background! ;-)

Mine too! I had ancestors who were Alamance Regulators (NC, 1771 - a precursor), served in the NC and SC militias in the Revolutionary War, and rode with the Swamp Fox. It gets to be a family tradition. They've been there in every conflict. I just don't want their fights for freedom to finally come to nothing.
